My Two Cents Worth! :)

Noooooooooooo!

Do you know that NO don't mean yes? It means no.

I hope Block B won't be disbanded this year. Hajimaaaa! I don't even know their name or faces but I like Nillili mambo. Hehe.

Belated Christmas!

2012-12-26T02:10:00.000+08:00

This was a looong long happy day :)

Dinner was so awesome it was worth the adrenaline rush coming back from kl to join my parents! I was in a fast and furious race for what felt like forever. Really, one day I'm gonna have a heart attack sitting at the passenger side of my brother's car. Why does he even have songs like 'safe and sound' playing in his playlist??!? Seriously. It's so ironic I almost laughed.

Funny how they decided to spend their last 3 hours of Christmas making Christmas cards! How unsingaporean-ish. This was wholly their idea ok. Don't look at me. Or my cards.

Huh?? Found this in my phone.. Hahhahaa!
Interesting,

A smartphone + some papers => a 3D Christmas tree! (preeeetty resourceful huh?:) )

This shot rocks!!

Messin around with my oh-so-awesome-Christmas present!
On hind side, we thought this was a pretty eerie shot. Can you spot HER? XP

Funny how my mom decided that tmr's our shopping day. Right after Christmas! Though we're throwing away our ice-skating plan, we couldn't complain now, could we? :D

Singaporeans. Yuck.

2012-12-21T15:39:00.003+08:00

Oh my gooooooooooodnesss. I thought I'd have some time to study for the hol but.. I must have been pretty deluded.

Today and next monday. The only 2 days I'm free to study this hol.. it's gone. GONE! Stupid Singaporean bratsss. Ok, they're really nice people but do I care!? Oh! Kang Wei brought some souvenirs from his Taiwan trip last month. Awww it's FOOD. Hehe. Thk you! And Fang Yin has grown to be so beautiful! Wow, though I've seen her a few times this past few years but every time I think of her, I remember a cute chubby little girl that used to stick to me like glue. Strange. And

Ok, don't get ~~excite~~..*cough* distracted Sin Yee.
Hey I still remember spending a week helping them mug for their O and A levels during CNY this year when my own finals is barely 3 months away!! I almost couldn't believe my ears when they told me their exam starts in October. Nov for A levels! They haven't started their degree yet but I won't be surprise if they shamelessly come around asking me to help them mug their degree's finals or smthg. I will smack that innocent smile off their face. Oh I will. And them freeloaders have no rights anyway.
Hmm..Oh! I can make them work their butt off for some rice! Some 3-day-old stale rice!

Evil?? Muahahaha! I think not!
The only flaw is.. I have neither work for them nor some (deathly) 3-day-old stale rice in possession.

Aiyah. So much for my 2013 study head start.

PS: Haha! I'm not mad at them or ath, just having some fun letting my imagination go wild! I mean, of course I'm HAPPY they came on a ONE day notice. Anyone would be glad. Right right right?? I can't thank them enough for taking me away from the perils of my law books. Pls kindly ignore the ~~hardly~~ overly dramatic background -> (Seriously! Whyyyy meeeeeeeeee??!!!! Why now????! T.T) screaming in my inner head.

PPS: Oh I know! I'll make them pay souvenirs as entrance fee to my house. They just came back from Cambodia yesterday anyway. (lucky bratssssss..!)

PPPS: Guess my plan backfired. I'm a ~~kuli~~ gracious host now. Yes, driver me at their service. BBW sale is it? Alright, here we go. And that's cuz I love u guys so much.

2012-12-06T12:54:00.000+08:00

'Hellooooo.. Hellooo... Helloooo...
Yes Sir I'm one of a kind!'

I don't normally listen to this kind of song (so.. one of a kind, lol!).
Now I just can't stop singing 'yes sir I'm one of a kind'. Hahaha. This is kinda ridiculous.

'ne oppa. ne eonni.'

AH!

Balik-ed kampung

2012-11-15T17:18:00.000+08:00

Back from grandma's house! Refreshing^^

What shall I talk about?
Alright, I had 3 little cousins who was back too.

Couzy number 1: Liang Liang, 7years old.
Hobby: Bully me! T.T n follow me around everywhere
Funny when: I take my afternoon nap n he would come wake me up -_- failing which, he'll take his little soft toys (minions!) and arrange it around me. Then he'd cuddle in and sleep beside me. And when he can't find me, he'd go check every room in the house asking 'Sin yee cheh cheh, are u there?' Muahaha makes me wanna hide.
Super sweet when: We had a durian feast, n I came late. He was holding a durian in each hand, waiting for me to come around =D ngawww
Fav game on the iPad: wack your boss

Couzy number 2: Ning Ning, 12 years old, Roommate
Pretty talkative ( I mean pretty AND talkative =P)
Smart ass class monitor
Just finished her UPSR
Has 8 admirers in school
Likes that 170+cm tall, basketball guy in school
Involved in an after school fight with a neighbouring class girl in which she flat that girl with her black belt taekwondo skills. (Ouch!>.<)
Made me read her hand written romance novels. Impressive for a 12 year old^^
Likes to hog my phone unsupervised (do what? Play games, watch all the embarrassing videos I took of my lil' bro for a hundred times. Youtube and FB for hours! I'm gonna cry, and my parents gonna vomit blood when they see all the data plan charges in my phone bill >.<)
I never had a sister, so I enjoyed sharing and teaching her bout facial care and routine.
Oh! I brought some facial mask with me. Masked her for the first time XP Bonding bonding.

Couzy number 3: Yang yang, 8 years old
Gamer in the making.
For some reason, likes to tickle me. Maybe it's cuz I used to tickle him a lot when he was younger. If it's that, then he really remember things like an elephant.
Pairs up with Liang Liang to bully me. Just as naughty! but nicer.
So darn gooooooooood at poker!
Annoying when he nags like an annoying bug: Sin yee chehhhh! I woke up at 7.45am today and I'm not even taking afternoon naps ah. Wake uppp! *tickles me* -__-

As you can see, I have weird cousi..*cough* I take afternoon naps everyday. Almost everyone does! Those brat's dad does! There's really nothing to do in Gemas (except watching Astro >.< ) It was boring sometimes. But the food was awesome and I had fun messing around with all those hyperactive little brats.

Can I also mention this uncle of mine who, everytime he sees me, would ask me what I'm studying? I can memorize our conversation by heart.
'law?? so you've gotta be good at english huh? Are u?'
'so when are u graduating?'
'Oh, my daughter's graduating from gov u next year too, as a medical doctor'

Babi.
Oh phuuuleasee. Can you NOT do that everytime I see you? Pretending to be forgetful or what? Yah I know my couzy got a place in gov u to study medicine. Smart la smart lah. I like her but I don't like you! The biggest insult came when he ask me with his arrogant tone 'what's your name again?'. I'm pretty happy my aunty (his wife) gave him a big nudge. I'm never gonna let u step in my house the next time u come visiting in your lousy merc. You lousy old kampung man -__-

Anyway, I love the food. How long was it ago? That I had roti canai for breakfast? =)

:'(

2012-11-12T16:09:00.003+08:00

See that shiny orange Bonia logo I had to paste over the mark? Eww.

Watermark

2012-11-12T15:00:00.002+08:00

How can I be so stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupidd!!? I'm gonna cry and mourn and BURY my new leather purse.
Whatever la. I hate u water. I hate u hydrogen. I hate u oxygen.

Dear H2O,
feel free to drown me lah! But don't.. DON'T ever ever ever ever mess with my beautiful purse! Why'd you do that?! WHY???? =(

Haih I just cant get over it.. Drove to the shop for a remedy and they told me that watermark on leather is PERMANENT. OH THANK YOU MAN, THAT'S GREAT.

[Update] - 20 minutes later..
.. .. ..I pasted its shiny brand logo on the watermark to cover up. Looks brand new again. Better. But STILL ugly.
*digging a burial hole*

J card day!

2012-11-09T02:54:00.000+08:00

Hi!!!
I know it's been ages since I last updated my blog. My last post was about packing for Korea, and to sum it up, Korea was AWESOME. I'd definitely go back there. With more korean words in my head hopefully :P It's one of the best Asian country I've been so far. If I were to migrate there someday, I would definitely choose to settle down in Hongdae cuz there's so many well groomed and talented uni guys there, haha! Hongik University is a performing arts University after all! Everyone who performed at that little square near the university looks like kpop stars, literally, be it girls or guys. They dressed the part, act the part and performed the part. I'd like to go back there, pretty pleaseeee? Hahaha anyway, my second choice of this 'imaginary' migration would be Busan! Cuz it's a place where ppl tell me I'm BEAUTIFUL and PRETTY. LOL! And apparently my brother's friend who was travelling with me begs to differ -.- OISH! Now I understand why Korean guys are BETTERRR than Malaysians! Internally and externally!! (Hahah I'm jk, I knew he was just teasing me)

Anyway, to sum it up (again =.=), the food was awesome, the weather was nice, the people are marvelous and the culture is so.. ..pretty(??!). What is there not to like about Korea?! Oh I know, the currency. To us Malaysians, Korea won = USD.

Ok I'm done with Korea.

So todayyyy was Jcard member day (yesterday too). It was insane I tell thee! A whole day there and I felt like I've just worked a days worth of construction work, like a kuli. Hahaha but looking at my loooooots, it was worth it! There's so many mad aunties grabbing stuff like it's FREE. All the pushing and shoving going on. I bet they felt like a kuli at the end of the day too. Or maybe not. They have more e.x.p.

Got myself 2pairs of shoes, jeans etc. But the highlight is still the 'happy hour' sales where certain stuffs like branded watches and handbags go off the shelve for as much as 70% off. When the sales for handbag starts, no! BEFORE the happy hour sales for handbag starts, they are already pushing and shoving at the sideline. Not that the stuff are dirt cheap. From afar, I saw the price range, and it still costs bout 80-120 for a handbag. Klang people are pretty rich nowadays huh? But I was pulled off by my mom b4 I can join in the madness.

'But mommmm, I wanna check it out!!'
'Aiya! There's nothing to check out, they marked up alot and gave you the discounts so that u will buy it at the same price thinking you've got a good discount. Plus those so-called leather bags are obviously PV leather laaa.'

Saying all that, we exited the CHAOS area and walked along the shoplots where there weren't many people. We entered a Bonia shop and checked out the bags. It's not a place I'd usually go you know, branded stuff cost a fortune -> that's my logic. Though Bonia is considered the lower end brand compared to Gucci and whatnot, it's still expensive! >.< Andddd.. needless to say, I couldn't even afford to buy a bag strap there -.- My mom got herself a handbag with a matching purse, it was well over 1k. Can I even EARN that much when I work in the future?? Well I can, but then I wouldn't be able to pay off my car installment, food expenses, bills and whatnot. Oh well, one can always live on roti canai and air kosong for a month. Not me, but one can.

Oh! Here comes the climax of my day! I was looking around (strutting off those handbags like I was gonna buy them :P no harm in trying right? Heee) and I found this PURSE(!!) that made me melt like.. like some helpless butter on a sunny day. Like seriously, my eyes gleamed like I just saw a pot of heavenly chocolate ice-cream dessert! The pattern was soooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL, the handiwork was meticulous! and the feel of it.. ..lets just say it's a winning feeling :)

Most of the purse I've seen there cost about 200+ to 300+. So hoping against hope, I peeked at the price and.. .. ..haha I couldn't afford it. Right there, big and bright was printed, Rm409! O.O Even 100bucks for a purse is splurging for me! I'm a pauper. Sigh. Look at the bright side though, to fall in love with one of the most exp purse around, I guess I have really good taste huh? Hahahahaha!

A beauty like that, I showed it to my mom. She looked through the purse (and the price of course) and said,
'Do u want it? Go ahead and buy it la. Did you bring your credit card?'
'.. .. .. .. .. ..'

WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!

I almost did a little dance right on the spot. Oops maybe I did. Hahahaha! Earlier today, my mom bought a polo wallet for my big bro (I thought the playboy one was rather nice but she dun like it >.< playboy, lol). She bought it for him because his is falling apart and has deteriorated beyond recognition. ROTTED! I call it. Hahaha mine looks ok though and is fully functional, so I really didn't expect her to buy one for me!

AHHHHHH I still can't believe it. It's like a dream come true! Don't think I'd even use it, so precious! I can't stop staring at my new baby every once in a while right now. It's so surreal. I'm in love. Otoke?

Packed:))

2012-09-05T01:01:00.004+08:00

Wohoooo! All packed for Korea! I kept wondering, 'Am I missing out something? Y is it so empty?' Yet I double and triple checked my really loooong check list and for the hundredth time, confirmed that everything's there. In fact, I'm packing extra toiletries, raincoats and universal adapter just in case those guys forgot theirs, not to mention a whole stack of korean brochures for them which I dun know will come in handy or not >.<

That's all? I'm afraid so.

Not that I'm bringing very little belongings but I'm just pretty good at stuffing things. Hahaha!

Iba Unplugged 2012

2012-08-23T00:19:00.003+08:00

The past 2 days was sick! I got food poisoned. At least the medicines are colourful >.<

Shall not elaborate more on sad matters. I'm looking forward to the future where I see myself in a music workshop in PJ listening to something I'm actually interested in. Weeeeeee :) finally a silver lining after the rain!

So..... I shall pick up Caitlyn tmr morn, and zooooooom my way to PJ with a GPS. Hahahaha! Caitlyn's MUCH younger than me but despite this liiiiittle age gap we're gonna have fun! I'm sure :) The same passion is all we need!

Been sleepi...*cough* passively recovering for 2/3 of the day for the past 2 days! I still need some rest though (darn it!) my stomach still cramps occasionally.

This last paragraph was initially a LONG superbly well thought out para dedicated to my classmate Andrew. I was just finishing it when my internet connection went off and he coincidentally called. After the call, I erased the whole thing cuz I risk sounding ridiculous if he didn't go uk after all. Hahaha oops!

That's all. I go sleep.

Pek Chek!

2012-08-20T00:12:00.003+08:00

I went out with this ex-classmate of mine in June, right after my final commercial paper. Today, 19th August, 5mins ago, I got a phone call from her mom. She sounded really upset with me. I can't forget her words.

We converse in chinese and part of our conversation went like this:

'How many times have you ask my daughter out?!'

'Only once aunty'

'When??'

'2months ago, in.. ..June'

'You ask her out and did not ask my permission?? I dun like it. That's no different from LYING to me'

'.. .. ..(*OH LYING???! TO YOU?? Your daughter is 21years old for God's sake! My friends dun come over and ask my parents permission to bring me out! Were u expecting a consent form ur royal highness?*) .. ..I do not have your number aunty'

'Fine. Dun ever ask her out again. WE ARE NOT LIKE U. WE ARE FROM A POOR FAMILY, I NEED THAT BRAT AT HOME TO DO ALL THE HOUSE CHORES AND COOK SO THAT I CAN DO MORE OT. DON'T EVER ASK HER OUT AGAIN. I DUN LIKE HER GOING OUT'

WTH. What zaman is it now that you still discriminate daughters? You think I dun know that u have a good for nothing son that does absolutely nothing at home?? Yes he's smart, but so is your daughter, equally if not more!!
I cant even go out with her for 1day?! And why are u calling me now, harping bout something that happened more than 2 months ago??! If I wasn't brought up to respect elders, I would have rudely spoken my mind.

Wait! Y am I even talking bout respecting u? Something as precious as 'respect'? U deserve none.

2012-08-14T02:14:00.001+08:00

'This does it! I'm NOT going anywhere WITHOUT my camera again!!'
With that resolution, I placed my camera in my bag.

This morning I started fiddling with it on my way to my new house. Found a new thang called selective colour. Now that's interesting. I've seen it before in my friends's dslr, never thought my cam has this too! Wohoo!

I feel like I'm looking at the world through the eyes of a colour blind person. I'm not sure if they see things black and white or they see it as it is but their brain could not process/interpret the shade of colour they're looking at.

Anyhow, this has given me an idea of what it's like to see the world through their eyes :) might not be anything close to it but it's a start!

REd;)

YeLLoW?

GrEEn?

BLuE?

Real short

2012-08-12T02:54:00.001+08:00

I realised that my previous posts were pretty long winded and wordy. It probably bores the life out of ppl. Sowee =(

This is gonna be real short.

Done.

Putrajaya day trip

2012-08-12T02:38:00.004+08:00

Every Putrajaya trip that I've been to so far had me waking up the next morning with awfully sore arms. This time we ain't wall climbing, we went for kayaking instead in Pusat Maritime Putrajaya! Our initial bookings was 10 double kayaks to accommodate everyone, but due to some unforeseen blunders, our double kayaks were given to others =( so we ended up with 5 single kayaks, 2 double ones and 2 canadian canoe :)

One thing I REALLY regretted today is not bringing my camera. GAH. Would have taken BEAUTIFUL underwater shots of my friends (and me) capsizing. Not to mention the sight of a very buffed up group of people practising their dragon boat! T.T

Anyway, I chose the single kayak and started rowing out with my friends to the furthest point we are allowed to row on the lake. It was a LOOOONG way there and I heard stories that many people who set out to that spot under the bridge were left stranded in the middle of no where because they were too tired to row bak. A motorboat will then set out to rescue them. Being ambitious, me and a few guys decided to row all the way there and bak.

20mins into rowing: It was fun till we had this crazy idea of me swapping with Sam to the canadian canoe from my single kayak IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE -_- I crossed over to the canoe first, being the lightest and Sam then came out of the canoe to take over my kayak. It was going smoothly till Sam steps over to the kayak and capsized. Hahahaha, still standing, I laughed and lost my balance, capsizing the huge canoe along with the other guy on it. We spent the next 20mins trying to turn the canoe bak but it was too heavy and we didn't have anything to step on to support the weight of the canoe. So... a motorboat came by and help us turn it over.
Lesson learnt! I went bak to my kayak and kayak to the bridge. Took me another 20mins >.<

In the end, none of the guys reached the bridge, they gave up mid-way. But me and my friend persevered through! (Yay! Sore arms waiting for us when we wake up in the morning =D) Prob the single kayaks are lighter, so we made it. Hahaha but still it was funner than all my previous kayaking trips! I've never capsized before, so it was very refreshing. Haha! The water is very cooling and clean too. 5star filtering system =)

Oh, one unforgettable moment was when I was heading bak to bay. Waiting for my friend to catch up, I rested for a while, lying down in the kayak with my hat on my face and my feet in the water. It was so relaxing! To have the gently breeze and the artificial wave that slightly rocked the kayak. (Once again, I wish I have my camera with me!)

After that, was fooooooooddddd! Hahah what better thing can befall on a famished exhausted girl? We had a refreshing picnic and played some games. You have no idea how good a simple sandwich filled with mashed eggs, onions, sugar and mayo sauce combo-ed with an icy cold soft drink taste like after a good row. Sausages and brownies was the next THING. Absolutely delicious!

Somewhere along the picnic, I got a nudge from one of my girl friends. Apparently the dragon boat team is back. So we started our 'checking out' and whispers of 'that guy in red shirt, that guys in blue.. etc'. Hahah the view of buff guys coming back from their dragon boat training was delicious too. LOL. They are fully clothed okay. Hey! I really have a thing for sporting guys don't I? :P

By 1, we were on our way to Alamanda Putrajaya. Split into groups (clicks, more accurately) to do our own browsing. Checked out some bags. NOT handbags, but travelling luggages and saw one of this small wheeled suitcase (more often refered to as carry-ons I think) that I absolutely adores (gosh, the light weight material, elegant shape/dimensions and the glossy finishing of the surface!), but after a quick search for the price tag, my spirit spiralled downwards. The price was Rm 3,330.00 -_- What am I doing here? I will never spend so much on a luggage bag, for now. 3k is INSANELY insane. Period. One of my friend favours a backpacking luggage which cost Rm 150+, I'd say I can get similar bag from winter time for 2/3 of the price. Omg. Spoken like a true housewife. LOL!

Every mall will certainly have a camera shop and a bookstore. Therefore, our window shopping experience would not be complete without a visit to any one of it :P Our first camera stop was a nikon dealer. To be walking around in a group where each one of us either owns a dslr or a compact camera above 1k, what more can I say? Of course some of them would go all hyped up just looking at the Canon 7D dslr at the display glass. The only thought I can conceive is that it's called 7D cuz it cost 7k -_- but then it wun make sense coz my dad owns a 50D and another friend has a 550D. Analysing the pattern, I found out that the price decreases as the model number increases for canon dslr. Smart huh? Hahaha I really dun know much bout dslr laaa except that they are incredibly bulky and that I'd prob never get one in this lifetime.

After the camera tour we went to the bookshop. Only found a tiny mph there, how disappointing. I went to this world map corner and found a book on interesting places to visit in Korea, read it cover to cover. Don't really know most of the place mentioned but then it would take prob a year of diligent travelling to cover every recommendations. It has some pretty useful info nonetheless!

That roughly sums up my day in Putrajaya!
But without pictures, this post about getting wet is so dry.

LOL-ed

2012-08-11T03:27:00.003+08:00

Putrajaya is 4 hours away from now.
Right now I'm checking out some youtube videos for my Korea trip. Recommended by my friend who's drowning in the incoming 'Hallyu wave'. Hahah just finished watching a hilarious vlog on a couple's trip to Lotte World. Entrance ticket costs 40,000won! Wao. A simple google search on conversion from won to MYR would come out to roughly Rm110 for that pass. WAO. And I thought Genting's 38bucks entrance ticket was expensive >.<

But of course, Genting is NO WHERE near Lotte world in terms of size and facilities. They even have a huge indoor ice-skating ring! And the whole area is so huge that u practically commute via cable car within the park itself! O.O It's like a korean Disneyland according to the couple. Hahah so I'm sure it's going to be an awesome experience for me too :) Though I ain't going in the souvenir shops to get a pair of blue bear ears like they did! >.< what are those ang mohs thinking?? Hahah so silly (but very fun to watch!). No wonder those shops even bother selling them, there's demand after all :P

After that I watch a song recommendation that is supposedly so good it entered the charts in US. GG. What did I just watch. I sat through the 4mins video gapping. After that I LOL-ed uncontrollably. HAHAHAHAHA. The dance moves! The korean 'Austin Powers' in the elevator! The yellow man! Everything is.. beyond words, beyond description. But then again, what did I just sang to my bro?

Op op op op oppa gangnam style.

Exhausted =)

2012-08-10T17:56:00.004+08:00

I did a 4km jog today and clocked 35mins 12secs. Sat on the floor to do some cooling down and thought to myself: I must mop this area later.

Hahaha ok, if I can keep this up, I might be fit enough to join the Nike 10km run this year :D
IF I can keep it up.

D-day

2012-08-10T04:43:00.000+08:00

Results will be coming out in less than a week! :D
Practically all my classmates that I talked to reminds me of it. I'm not very nervous, even when I think about it. It's probably because I've conditioned my mind for the worst this 2months.

Why am I taking law? I might not be a lawyer. I haven't decided if I'm going to take the bar. I haven't even pass my degree. Sometimes I just dun know what the future has in store for me. I mean, most if not all my classmates already decided that they will become a lawyer. But me? I dunno. For all I know, I might end up with a 8-5 bank job handling loans and mortagages.

Should I continue with an MBA? Work? Do my bar? (Fly with AirAsia? :PP) Hahah all this are uncertain. I must have hate myself alot to study a law degree without having a burning desire to be a lawyer. And to think that ppl around me expects me to pursue a legal career because of what I study is quite a burden. What if I graduate and tell them that 'No, I'm not going to be a lawyer, I'm gonna take my law degree and apply for a bank job. If u wanna take a loan or mortgage, pls remember me.' Hahah that would shock them.

Remember those forms we had to fill when we were little to state our ambition?
I've never written lawyer before. It'll be funny if I really be one.

Anyway, I'm just hoping that D-day will come asap and fill my heart with relief. Or horror. Hahah either way, I'm getting pretty tired of holidays. Can't wait for class to start!

middle-of-the-night ramblings

2012-08-10T02:57:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, during this holiday, I had moments of doubt whether I've become bimbo-fied. I mean, cooking, shopping, nail art, gaga-ing over korean dramas, make up. But WAIT! I can justify all those. (went through this in my head again and again to reassure myself everytime doubt hits me)

Cooking is justified. It's not a gender specific activity. I'm not even sure if bimbo cooks. Those that says cooking is a women chores, I'm sure they have dinosours as pets.

I didn't shop (or window shop) excessively. Yes it's more than what I usually do, but it's less than what bimbo does. Totally.

Nail art. Tough one but this is just a very new obsession. Can't tell for sure if it will survive through the month. Just like the korean dramas.
(2 birds with 1 stone)

Make up and assesorizing. Eyeliner, foundation and lip balms are basics. It's in line with the Avril Lavign's look. And she is legend.

There u have it. Me is normal.

PS: Recently I found a new sense of appreciation for heels. They are pretty indeed. On my feet.

On a separate note,
I was chatting with Kalai yesterday night and I felt really upset. She's going to US so soon. I'm happy for her but.. I'll miss her. It sounded like great adventure for her, so I couldn't help but get all hyped up for her. I wish I can help her pack. She's getting a camera for the trip too, I wish I can help her choose ='(

Hahah but I had SO much fun last night advising her what to bring, how to search for places to go tour, what not to miss out and how to choose a camera. AIH. She said I could write a travelling guide and a guide to choosing suitable cameras. It all comes with experience and a very bad (or good?) habit of jumping from one interest to another. Hangat-hangat tahi ayam. LOL. But when I'm on to smthg, I can't help but dig deep, read up on it for hours and if it's hands on, I'd get some materials to experiment. Then I move on. I like it that there's no pressure to do well, I could learn at my own pace. Quit at my own time.

For some strange reason (considering I'm no brilliant photographer), camera browsing is smthg I never stop doing. Looking at brands, models, prices. Fasinating really. Thus, YK's offer to give lessons on a DSLR? I'm gonna take it up! I figure it'll be quite interesting to learn how shuttle speed, types of lenses, light exposure and all the complicated DSLR settings can work together to capture a masterpiece :)

Just the other day, he was explaning to me how in some situations, zooming would give a much better effect than taking the picture upclose without zooming. Shocking. I realised that some effects could only be acheive with zooming, say when ur taking pictures of water droplets in mid-air. Those individual droplets would look amazing when taken from afar zoomed in rather then taking it upclose. Of course shuttle speed plays a MAJOR part too, the faster the speed (ie 1/500), the clearer the droplets will get. I always though that zooming would dilute the pictures but apparently it's not so much a difference and totally worth it to gain a better effect and light exposure. What a technique. Food for thought indeed.

15mins of casual talk made me realise that I love this. I can't imagine how much more interesting an actual proper lesson will get =) to have a photo-geek [pls dun retract ur offer!=( hahah] as friend, lucky me! I rephrase, photo-genius.

Why am I still awake? Cuz I slept at 9pm just now. Woke up at 11pm when my big bro came bak from work (what stupid job makes ppl stay bak so late? We have no rights?), I WANT TO celebrate his b'day b4 the day's over. So yea, I woke up, ate cake, take pictures and right now my eyes are as wide open as an owl. Oh n he loves my choc truffles. He loves it!!! Well actually he obliviously ate some when he found it chilling in the fridge yesterday morn b4 he went for work. I facepalmed till my forehead was slightly flat when I found out -_- but I was smart enough hid it afterward! And listen with evil glee the story my mom told of him hunting for it after work yesterday night. Hahahaha! But having it as a present today, it was too precious for him to eat. Awwww =') worth it. Everything was.

August!

A quick update on what I've been up to this week.

1. I tried my hands on a new recipe yesterday. It's like bak kut teh but I've replaced it with chicken instead of pork!

That spoon wasn't intentional. My bro couldn't wait for me to take a picture b4 he puts it in his mouth -_-

2. Other than that, I've tried another new stuff. Aihh, the actual story was I wanted to make a cheese cake for my bro's b'day. After hours of researching and reading, I went to shop for materials. And then I came home with the shocking revelation that 1 block of cream cheese is not enough to make all the cheese cakes in the world.. .. ..The end.

Hahaha seriously. What was I thinking??! How can I overlook the most important thing in the recipe? A disgrace to all cheesecakes bakers really. Anyhow, I ain't going bak for another 3blocks. (1block of cream cheese cost bout Rm13! The ignorant me never knew it's that expensive! >.<) I did something else with what I had. Tadaaaaa! Oreo chocolate truffles!!! All I can say that it's simply delicious! (and I blame my sore throat on it!) Thk God it's a great turn of event to an awful mistaken start, hahah! Oh. Of course, I did set aside half of it for my bro's b'day.

PS: My mom said it's nice tooooo. OMG. From HER.

Her side note: but a bit too large, truffles should be bite-size.

Hahaha that's okayyyy, where'e the indulgences in having a small bite-sized truffle. 2 bite-sized is just nice :P

I should do this more often!

3. And after the korean dramas craze dies down, I've been moving on to a new thing. What THING? Nail art! So bimbo right? LOL. Started out with some simple polka dots last week. Oh n a purple-pink ombre on the other hand. Looks great but very eye catching. (Aint gonna wear that for Sunday's futsal!) So I removed it after 2days and put on a clear coat ='( hahah.
2days ago, I was shopping for some baking materials and caught a glance at an accessories shop having SALE. I'm not much of a sale person but given that nail art is the In-thing (in my life) right now, I took a little detour inside to check out the nail polish. Muahahahaha!! I came out with a nail polish remover, a top coat and various colours. Hehehe. U could say I was dancing inside, can't wait to go home n try it out!.. .. ..

I didnt try it out until today though. This time I chose my new shiny nude purpl-ish colour one cuz last week's colour was a bit crazy. Turns out to be too bland. Ugh. Nevermind lahh, trial and error. Haha

my slightly purpl-ish nail polish! :)

Some of me loots from the SALE! :P
Note to self: Get a blue polish next!

4. This week I've watch 3movies. The dark knight rises, total recall and er.. one more.. er.. step up revolution!
The dark knight rises was nice but given so much hype, I expected something more mind-blowing. Total recall was pretty awesome. Step up was not as good as the previous one but I'd still give it a 6/10 :)
Note: 6/10 is pretty good. A second upper if ur taking my course.

5. I went out last night with my bro to check out the BR shop. He drove while I scout on. All I can say was 'Whoa! U-turn! U-turn!'. The line was crazy, it wasnt's just a few shops, it was more than 2 BLOCKS long and the shop itself was packed. Many are cutting straight into the shop without lining up, so for those who ARE lining up, standing 2blocks away, I wonder if they are gonna see their ice-cream at all. I would have cut in the line and get my ice-cream in 10mins like so many others. But that's too ill-mannered, if I cut in, I'd walk in as a customer and pay them for the ice-cream.

6. Haven't been working out this few days. I have some time today but u see, it was spent updating this blog.
I know I ain't as strong as the guys! I must kick-start my jogging regimen so that i wouldn't be a burden during the korea trip. Best if I could leave them behind in dust, panting. Lol. I wish.

Well that was fun :)

I'm done with korean version 'Romeo and Juliet'! Still dun understand why they call it The Princess' Man. Haha but overall it was a great drama.

Though it's a happy ending, it left a bitter aftertaste. The king (who then was a prince) murdered the previous king, dethrone and killed his nephew, killed even his own brothers and Romeo's family etc was left to survived and lived well into old age as king. There was NO retribution watsoever? How unusual that the bad guy who was evil till the end gets to go off scott free and even live happily ever after.

Comparing historical k-drama, I still prefer the story line in The Moon that embraces The Sun, but The Princess' Man has way WAAAY better cast. What team Edward or Jacob? I'm in team Park Shi Hoo :) Not to mention that heart wrenching song they play every time Romeo and Juliet thinks about their sad fate. Hahahah! Really, I dun pay attention to whatever song they use in dramas, cuz I dun understand anyway. BUT THIS! I have to find out who's singing. It's so good it gives me the chills every time I listen to it. Distracted me from whatever's happening on screen.

I prob sound like those people who spend all their time in their room obsessed over comics and video games. Well it did took me 8days to finish this drama, that's bout 3episodes a day on average O.O what a geek.

Oh remember the water war I was all so hyped up about previously? I was right to be so excited !

Out of water balloons? Hog pipe!

Saturday!

2012-07-21T15:01:00.000+08:00

Woke up with 7missed calls and multiple texts from several people. WHAT?! It's 1pm already?!! Shoot. I overslept.
It took a moment to dawn on me that today's Saturday! No wonder.
Exciting day ahead. Now I'm sitting here blogging. Ain't that exciting?
Er.. hahaha ok lame.

Seriously though, I'm really excited bout the rest of my day.
In 20mins time I'm leaving for a band meeting.
Though I'm not actually in the band. I'm performing my very own item!
Violin solo at the annual garden dinner held in church next week. But now that I'm pulling in the band for accompaniment, not so solo anymore. Heheh I only need the guitarist, keyboardist and drummer.

After that is YF! We're having a water war today!! Muahahah only told the members to bring extra clothing for change :p OH n I'm finally done with the committee meeting minute. FINALLY. I'm so bad at paper works! n they laugh at my usage of 'red dates' cuz it has duel (very different) meaning :( it's hari bulan la k, not the fruit! AAHHHH!

Teen Scene Fest tonight! They have it as an annual thing but I've never been to it b4. My friends are shock and find that piece of info disturbing, so I ~~have to~~ gonna go this year. Ok, most of the text I got today r regarding this. They're asking if I'm going. Ahhhh I kept telling ppl I'm going since LAST WEEK! Y r thr still ppl asking? Spread the news or sthg la. Or be like me, I dun care who's going. Sometimes, I wonder if this is come kind of conspiracy to annoy me. Everyone send a msg. Everyone ask the same thing.
Nahhh.

Aiya lazy to reply la. I'll bump into them later anyway. Let them build in some steam or whatever in the meantime.

I'm glad I didn't go for some sales job in aeon this year. Weekends are awesome.

My Day Job

2012-07-10T21:47:00.002+08:00

It's weird that while other people goes out for work, I'm paid lucratively to stay at home. All I have to do is help out with some chores. No wonder I feel so free. Like literally nothing to do, most of the time. To the point where I play fish tychoon. Got it frm my lil' bro, hahah.

So what did I do? I WATCH FISH GROW. By the hours! It's like having a real life aquarium where fishes grow into adulthood in a couple of hours. Then u bred 'em, mix and match, have different kinds of rare fishes, and sell of the old fishes for a profit. I decided to cook spaghetti one day. And for a person who never cooked, I took the whole afternoon preparing the sauce >.< more work than I tot needed! Anyway, heavily inspired by fish tychoon while cutting the abalone I decided to be..a lil' bit more artistic. (Yes, I know ppl dun put abalone in spaghetti sauce, but I can't find the canned mushroom!!! Like I said, I dun usually cook. Only found out later from my mom that one of the difference btwn both is the price tag, abalone has one more 0 at the end. Kena nag no end) hahaha well that was fun.

My Masterpiece! =)

What happens to my list of must-watch dramas? I'm taking a break here. Phew. Overdosed.

Weeeee!

2012-07-07T01:29:00.001+08:00

Just got my YF duty rooster for this 2 months and.. .. ..*drum roll*.. .. ..I'M DRUMMING FOR YF NEXT MONTH. Wohoo!! I'm gonna bug Meng Jin for more complex beats up next. 4, 8, 16 or off beats? Pahh, no longer a challenge. Muahahaha!

Speaking of the rooster though, I found something really odd. Every time I'm scheduled to play the keyboard, whether this month or next, I'm also coincidentally scheduled to play the percussion. It only happens to me. Hahahahaha reminds me of an octopus.

I should be sleeping. COPA IBA's tmrw. Today.

King 2 Hearts

2012-07-03T00:50:00.001+08:00

I love this drama! After 19hours, I've finally gotten to the final episode =D The story line's quite heavy and I personally find it quite impossible for them to tie up all the loose ends in just 1 hour, after 19hours of building up the climax. Would it be a rushed plot? Hahah maybe, maybe not. I guess they are going to end it, some way or another.

Oh, they have an interesting cast I would say. The leads are Lee Seung Ki and Ha Ji Won. I like them both, that's why this drama caught my eye in the beginning. Seung Ki is better than before, he really surpassed himself, compared to his previous lead act in Brilliant Legacy and My GF is a 9 tailed fox. Ha Ji Won is good too, but I love her more in Secret Garden! Hehe. Maybe the storyline played a part too la, SG was more of a romance drama compared to this action packed one.

Ahhhh I'm so tired but for the last episode I will stay up. Not that I can go to sleep with all this suspense around :P
After this hour, I would be at loss. What's next?
I do I do? Nahhh, the airing is still on going, I can't watch half way thru and then go thru the agony of waiting every wed for a new episode upload. Besides, The Moon embracing the Sun sounds more er..sophisticated. Hahahah they can come up with some abstract cheesy names for their drama these days and still be a hit. It's no wonder. Really.
